About Anthurium obtusum

Anthurium obtusum is a species of plant in the genus Anthurium widely distributed in Central and South America, from Belize to Bolivia. The species was originally described as Anthurium trinerve by Adolf Engler and then in 1997, reclassified. The species is easily confused with Anthurium scandens, but can be distinguished by its terrestrial growth habit and a white spathe which stays erect rather than reflexed.
